Question

a storm that gets its energy from warm, humid air at the oceans surface is called a
a blizzard.
b hurricane.
c thunderstorm.
d tornado.

Explanation:

• A blizzard is a severe snowstorm with strong winds. It doesn't get energy from warm, humid ocean - surface air.
• A hurricane (in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific) or typhoon (in the Northwest Pacific) is a tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones form over warm ocean waters (usually with sea - surface temperatures of at least 26.5°C) and get their energy from the evaporation of warm, humid air from the ocean's surface.
• A thunderstorm is a storm with thunder and lightning, usually associated with cumulonimbus clouds. While it involves moist air, it is not specifically an ocean - based storm that gets its energy primarily from warm, humid ocean - surface air on a large scale like a hurricane.
• A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud (or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud). It is a much smaller - scale and more localized weather phenomenon compared to a hurricane and not fueled by warm, humid ocean - surface air in the same way.
